Re: [ha-wg] CFP: HA Mini-Conference in Prague on Oct 25th

it turns out that there was zero feedback about people wanting to present, only some about travel budget being too tight to come. So we had some discussions about whether to cancel this completely, as this made planning rather difficult.

But just in the last few days, I got a fair share of e-mails asking if this still takes place, and who is going to be there. ;-)

So: we have the room. I will be there, and it seems so will at least a few other people, including Andrew. I suggest we do it in an "unconference" style and draw up the agenda as we go along; you're welcome to stop by and discuss HA/clustering topics that are important to you. It is going to be as successful as we all make it out to be.

Is it possible, if this isn't set in stone, to push back to later in the day? I don't fly in until the 25th, and I think there is one other person who wants to attend in the same boat.

Based on Boston last year, I imagine the conversations will last right up until Lars starts presenting his talk on Friday afternoon. People came and went at random, and if someone essential was missing for a conversation we deferred it until later.

Oh, then we're going to not stop, ever - because I don't have a talk at the main conference this time ;-)

yes, and given that the ha mailing lists are still down, probably the best we can hope for ...

The schedule has you in a friday afternoon slot iirc.

I can finally respond to this and do want to take the opportunity to apologize for my silence-for-obvious-reasons over the past month.

That one is actually the talk by Madison and yours truly.

Regarding my own plans: when the originally planned miniconf was canceled, I committed to speaking at Percona Live in London that same week, so I will be late for Linuxcon and arrive in the late evening of the 26th. I'm completely open for Boston-style round table sessions all day on the 27th, and also in the morning and evening of the 28th. Minus talk prep with Madison, of course. I am also not handing back down to Vienna before the early afternoon of Saturday the 29th, so if anyone has plans to do something interesting that Saturday morning I'd be more than happy to join.

I'm going to be in the city all day Saturday as well.

Knowing there will be at least a few who will have trouble making the unofficial meeting on the 26th, perhaps we could have an even more informal meeting/talk/debrief/waffles on Saturday morning?

The 26th is just the meeting start.

It's not 26th, but 25th. It also says so in the subject line. I'll be in Prague only on 25th.

I'm trying to settle my schedule being in Prague from 25th to 28th. See you everybody over there.
